7 New Honda Cars Coming to India By 2019!

Honda Cars India is riding high on the success of the City and Amaze sedans. However, Honda’s other products have rather failed to emulate the City’s success. Honda now plans to launch a bunch of new cars in India to increase its market share. These launches will be spread across various segments, right from mass market small crossovers to premium sedans. Honda won’t be repeating the mistake of leaving out the Diesel engine options from its lineup. So read on to find out more about the upcoming new Honda cars in India that will be launched in 2017 – 18

Upcoming New Honda Cars in India

The new 2018 Honda Amaze is likely to debut at the Auto Expo 2018. The new Amaze will share its platform with the current model but will have an all-new design, both inside and out. It will also come with a set of new features that should help it project itself as a more premium product. The engines are likely to offer higher mileage and refinement as well.

The new Honda Civic is easily among the most awaited of upcoming new Honda Cars in India in 2017, 2018. The new Civic does look really promising. The earlier Civic descended into obscurity due to the launch of cheaper, diesel equipped alternatives. And this eventually lead to its withdrawal from the market. Now, though, Honda intends to bring the Civic back to India in the form of the current generation model. Civic’s design highlights include- ‘Flying H’ front chrome grille, a long hood, sporty bumpers, and boomerang-style LED taillamps.

So the HR-V isn’t among the most awaited upcoming new Honda Cars in India, but it could very well come to us in near future. The Honda HRV SUV shares in plenty with the Jazz. Hence, this SUV’s design is based on the much publicized Honda ‘Exciting H Design’ philosophy. Highlights of the HR-V’s design are a stylish front grille, LED headlamps, a rather steeply sloping roofline and a dynamic rear-end. It has a CR-V-like dashboard with features like- touchscreen infotainment unit, touchscreen auto climate control and a CR-V like steering wheel. Powering the Honda HR-V globally is a 1.8-litre Petrol motor that has a max. power of 141 bhp, and a 1.6 L Diesel that has a max. power of 118 bhp. The India-spec model, however, could make do with BR-V’s 1.5 L Petrol and Diesel motors.

Honda unveiled the next generation CR-V for international markets in 2016. It is also likely to make it India by 2018. The current CR-V has been performing poorly thanks to high pricing and the lack of a diesel engine option. Its India launch has not been confirmed yet, however.

Honda is working on a facelift for its Jazz premium hatchback. Akin to the new City, the new Honda Jazz 2017 facelift will come with a host of styling changes and additional features. Engine options will remain untouched. However, thanks to the new features and fresher styling, the Honda Jazz facelift is sure to snatch away some prospective buyers of the Hyundai Elite i20 and Maruti Baleno. Another of the most important upcoming new Honda cars, this one. Honda is likely to give the Jazz facelift the City’s 1.5-litre iVTEC petrol engine. This will enable it to take on the likes of Maruti Baleno RS, Volkswagen Polo GT TSI and Fiat Abarth Punto.

The Honda Brio was first launched in India in 2011. While it’s a pretty competent product, a lot many factors led to a rather dismal sales performance by this B-segment Honda car. Now, in an attempt to establish s stronger foothold in the lucrative small car segment, Honda is likely to launch the new generation Brio late next year. It’s very likely that the new car will greet us in its concept avatar at the Auto Expo 2018. Akin to the current generation, the next generation Brio is likely to give birth to the next generation Amaze, Mobilio and BR-V. While details are scarce at the moment, you can expect us to update you with more info as soon as we get our hands on some.

If the new generation Honda Brio is coming our way, can the all-new Amaze be far behind? Yes, Honda is sure to launch the new Amaze soon after getting the new-generation Amaze soon after launching the new Brio here. The latest generation Dzire is a really well-sorted car that has been leaving huge dents in the sales of the Amaze. The next generation Amaze will most likely become a worthy competitor of the new Dzire. Of course, it will share in plenty with the new generation Brio. This car just might make its debut in a concept avatar at the Auto Expo 2018. This is definitely one of the most important upcoming new Honda cars.

New Honda Cars in India

Honda launched the WR-V Jazz-based crossover in India on March 16. With the popularity of crossovers and SUVs on the rise, the new crossover should help Honda address the constantly dwindling sales. The WR-V competes with popular models like the Maruti Vitara Brezza and Ford EcoSport, but is more expensive than both.

Honda launched the City facelift in India in February 2017. Updates to the model include various cosmetic changes and additional features. However, engine options remain the same. The new 2017 Honda City continues to utilise the 1.5 L iVTEC petrol and 1.5 L iDTEC diesel engines. There is new top of the line ZX trim on offer.

Another Honda, another comeback! The current gen Accord made its way to Indian shores last year. Like the Civic, the Accord was also once at the top of the segment but lost out to the Skoda Superb due to the absence of a Diesel engine. The Accord that was launched in India in 2016 does not have a Diesel option but a hybrid version for mileage conscious. It rivals the Toyota Camry. The hybrid powerplant is 2.0-litre petrol engine mated to a 124 kW electric motor and has a combined power output of 196 bhp mated to a CVT automatic gearbox.

So, in case, you thought the Honda Brio has started looking dated, you’ll be pleased to know that the updated version is here. The Brio facelift made its debut in Indonesia earlier this year and the mid-life facelift came to India in October 2016. The Brio facelift boasts enhanced looks. The new front-end comes from the Amaze facelift. The refreshed car has gone on sale at a starting price of INR 4.69 lakhs. The 1.2-litre iVTEC Petrol engine continues to power the Brio.

Car Blog India will come up with more on Upcoming New Honda Cars in India 2017, 2018 with launch date, prices, specifications and mileage. So stay tuned for more details. Which of these Upcoming New Honda Cars in India are you waiting for? Do share your views.

Honda HRV is distinctive and surely would scale up the honda sales since in India we have Ford Eco sport, Duster but all of these cross over miss the style that HRV offers. Furthermore the recent launch BRV is a huge SUV not to categorise as a cross over. Honda needs to speed up their launches not sure about the India strategy but guess INDIA is looking for more premium looking cars rather than cheap quality. Since India is the growing market.. Honda please think bigger!

Hi Mr Jneneswar Sen Marketing and Sales of Honda Car India announced at the Launch of the Honda BRV on the 5th May 2016 that there will be a Facelift on the Honda Mobilio later in the year. Can you Confirm that? Much Appreciated. Thank you. Kind Regards

[…] Honda has commenced the production of the Jazz-based WRV sub-4 metre compact SUV at its Tapukara facility in Rajasthan.

Internationally, the new Honda WRV will replace the Fit Twist. In India, however, the WRV will be marketed as a rugged vehicle capable of taking on the likes of Toyota Etios Cross, Volkswagen Cross Polo and the likes.

Hi Honda, You are yet to do something to make the Diesel Engine placed on City & Amaze (same) sound little. Further, Amaze should was Compact Cross with a lesser than a heavy engine placed on 4000mm LL vehicle and 4400mm+ city. Then no doubt the 4000mm segment will over run maruthi with better mileage on diesel and 1000cc on petrol. try it please

My whole family and I are staunch supporter of HONDA cars, and we never go to any showroom to see the cars from the buyers’ point of view because we know that at the end, we will Honda only.
I have few comments to offer, Civic was very good and it should be brought again in economical variant, not in high range. It is entirely my personal opinion, that you are more focusing on SUVs, like BRV, CRV,WRV and now HR-V, it may be your strategy, but you should now focus on small sedans, because there is big gap between Amaze and City, Jazz is not very popular in Indian market, I don’t know why??
Pls consider
